Work Wanted Resume: Bonnie J. Baker
by Bonnie J. Baker
(Michigan)
Office work wanted: Looking to work in a mild climate for the winter or year long preferably. Long term employment is desired and I will relocate immediately to accommodate the position. Unlike many Managers, I look at this position as a career in itself, and strive to do the best job possible for my employer.
As expressed in my resume, I am a dedicated and organized individual with an extensive background in property management. Problem solving and getting issues resolved as swiftly as possible are a priority which assist greatly in resident retention and a positive cash flow.
I bring office/maintenance management, supervisory, communication, financial, organizational, multi-tasking, marketing, sales, and people skills. My experience includes multi-family, single family and student housing (REIT) in the positions of Property Manager and Regional Manager. I believe that while maintaining a professional atmosphere is important, we need to not lose sight of also creating an enjoyable/fun atmosphere as well. This benefits both the staff and the residents for a productive relationship. I can honestly say that there are few situations (besides perhaps an earthquake or tornado) that I haven't been through at some point in my 20 years of managing properties.
